Hyatt Hotels Corporation has unveiled plans to further expand its luxury all-inclusive portfolio in the Caribbean with the launch of Secrets Macao Beach Punta Cana, set to open in 2026. This highly anticipated adults-only resort will bring 406 premium accommodations, extensive dining experiences, and modern MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events) facilities to the Dominican Republic, cementing Hyatt’s growing influence in one of the Caribbean’s most dynamic tourism markets.
The project is a collaboration with GSM Investissements Dominicana S.R.L., the owner of the neighboring Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana, ensuring that the two resorts will complement each other while offering distinct atmospheres for different traveler profiles.
Luxury Accommodations for Every Traveler
The new property will feature 406 rooms and suites designed with comfort, privacy, and elegance in mind. Guests can choose from Junior Suites, Master Suites, and Presidential Suites, with 111 swim-out suites providing direct access to the resort’s pools. Of these, 13 will be panoramic swim-out suites, offering elevated views and a more exclusive experience.
Each room will be thoughtfully designed with contemporary furnishings, spacious layouts, and high-end amenities to ensure maximum relaxation. With a focus on couples and adults seeking tranquility, the resort promises to deliver a refined environment that balances leisure, luxury, and privacy.
Dining Experiences with Global Flavors
Food and beverage will be a highlight of Secrets Macao Beach Punta Cana. The resort will host nine restaurants and nine bars, offering a variety of international cuisines. A farm-to-table concept will serve dishes prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients from the property’s own organic garden, emphasizing sustainability and authentic flavors.
Preferred Club members will enjoy exclusive dining venues and tailored menus, adding an extra layer of luxury. Guests can also choose from casual poolside bites to fine dining experiences, ensuring that every culinary preference is catered to.
Pools, Relaxation, and Entertainment
The resort will feature three pools, each designed to offer a different atmosphere. The main pool will have a lively beach-club vibe, while the activity pool will provide entertainment and social experiences. A rooftop pool, available only to Preferred Club guests, will deliver a more intimate and serene escape with panoramic ocean views.
Evenings will come alive with live entertainment, cultural shows, and themed nights, giving visitors a mix of relaxation and excitement throughout their stay.
Unlimited-Luxury Experience
Guests at the new Hyatt property will enjoy the Unlimited-Luxury® inclusions that Secrets Resorts & Spas are known for. These benefits include 24-hour concierge and room service, pool and beachside service, premium spirits, and daily entertainment. The focus is on offering an all-inclusive experience where every detail is managed, leaving travelers free to relax and enjoy their vacation without worry.
Seamless Access to Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana
A unique aspect of this development is its integration with Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana, a family-friendly resort next door. Guests staying at Secrets Macao Beach Punta Cana will have access to both properties, enjoying the adult-oriented luxury of Secrets and the lively, family-focused amenities of Dreams.
This dual access will be especially appealing to groups or extended families traveling together, as it allows everyone to enjoy tailored experiences while staying close.
Business Meets Leisure: New MICE Facilities
Beyond leisure tourism, Hyatt is positioning the new resort as a premier destination for business and event travelers. The property will include a convention center with capacity for up to 1,000 attendees, making it a prime choice for conferences, corporate retreats, and incentive travel.
The venue will be fully equipped with modern technology and flexible event spaces, blending professional functionality with the scenic beauty of the Caribbean. This strategic addition aligns with the Dominican Republic’s growing reputation as a hub for MICE tourism in the region.
Hyatt’s Continued Growth in the Dominican Republic
The opening of Secrets Macao Beach Punta Cana builds on Hyatt’s recent successes in the Dominican Republic. The company has expanded its Inclusive Collection with new resorts in Miches and La Romana, including Secrets Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa, Dreams Playa Esmeralda, Secrets La Romana, and Dreams La Romana. Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana is also scheduled to open in late 2025, further reinforcing its presence in the country.
This expansion reflects Hyatt’s strategy to meet the rising global demand for premium, all-inclusive vacations. With its natural beauty, cultural heritage, and world-class beaches, the Dominican Republic continues to be a top choice for travelers from North America, Europe, and beyond.
A Destination That Blends Luxury and Culture
Macao Beach, where the resort will be located, is recognized for its pristine beauty and has been listed among the Caribbean’s most celebrated beaches. Its combination of soft sands, clear waters, and vibrant local culture makes it a standout destination for both relaxation and exploration.
Guests of the new Hyatt property will have the opportunity to explore local attractions, from cultural tours and water sports to day trips highlighting the Dominican Republic’s history and natural landscapes.
Looking Ahead
When Secrets Macao Beach Punta Cana opens in 2026, it will stand as a flagship destination within Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection. With its adults-only concept, luxury accommodations, world-class dining, and new MICE capacity, the resort is set to redefine all-inclusive travel in the Dominican Republic.
By blending leisure and business tourism in one of the Caribbean’s most iconic settings, Hyatt is positioning itself not only as a hospitality leader but also as a driver of growth for Dominican Republic tourism.
